I did a bit of research on this a couple weeks ago and basically found that there are two "proper" choices for this kind of thing. They are the GoPro and Contour cameras.

GoPro

Contour

They are a bit pricey (between $300 and $400) but they are basically designed for this type of stuff. Each one can do full 1080p HD video and have a variety of mount options available. They record to SD cards so getting extra storage can be cheap (Canada Computers sells SD cards very cheap). The GoPro has some neat options like the ability to join two of them to do 3D recoring. The Contour GPS for example can record the GPS location of the video so you can see on a map where the video was being shot. Check out their sites for all the demos and such.

You can find either camera in places like Henry's or Vistek. I also saw the Contour at BestBuy a couple days ago.

Another option I looked was the cheap Flip cameras. They are only around $100 but I was not able to find any sort of mount option for them. Beyond that I'm not sure if anything else is available that would work well.

I've been told you won't notice the difference between the 2 GoPro cameras so I plan on buying the cheaper one for $199 at bestbuy plus the suction mount for $35.

Just picked up a GoPro at Henry's in Brampton HD Motorsports HERO, charging as I type. $349 + taxes think he said he had one more in stock.

just got the gopro HD
I was told track driving at 1080P/30fps doesnt look that good.720P/60fps does the trick.
I am going to test it tonight on the forks of the credit.
